Make and sell stickers to paste to lunch bags, saying, “Don’t Eat Alone”. Each sticker buys an Ethiopian child lunch for a day. Or, have your school lunch program offer to add $1 a day to meals to feed Ethiopian Children. Sharon Halper developed this project. |

Sell anything you want to make, proceeds going to help feed Jewish children in Ethiopia, or to educate Ethiopian children in Israel. Miriam Krule baked challas. |
